While selecting an appropriate muhurta several factors are considered. It is very important that panchang (panch anga –Tithi-Karan-Vara-Nakshtra-Yoga) are favourable for the muhurta.
The panchang components are as favourable as their lords and the Moon. It is very important that the Moon and panchang lords are well disposed for the event. A favourable Vara/Tithi/Nakshtra/yoga is one factor which neutralizes blemishes.
Ancient Muhurta texts have given specific guidelines for beginning many activities, of which for many activities specific guidelines are given but for many only a favourable nakshtra is said appropriate.
